Comments from Professor Emanuel Abbuhl:

Cane and reeds made by Ke-Xun Ge are excellent!Reeds: They work nearly everywhere and in each climate as in Mexico City (2600m above sea level, 20% humidity) as in Singapore (sea level, 80% humidity); they keep the original quality very long and with a bit softer strength at the beginning, they get stronger and even better during playing. Very good age, the sound quality is very smooth and flexible, keeping good level through a whole one to two-hour concert. Very good reaction on air pressure or tongueing. Nearly all reeds can be adapted to every type of oboe. ask for your own reed!

Cane: Very stable, long living, good colour (bright yellow to gold/light brown), work very well in every strength."
